Anti-poverty strategies have been part of the European Union agenda for decades. Most saliently, over a decade ago, the EU's Member States pledged to lift 20 million people out of poverty. In spite of this commitment, the EU did not even meet a quarter of this target, and over 113 million people still were at risk of poverty and social exclusion by the end of 2020. This book addresses the incongruence between a quite developed EU policy strategy and a well-embedded legal objective on the one hand, and the lack of direct legal action on the other. Analysing the role of social policy instruments, fundamental rights, and the constitutional framework of the European Union, it makes a detailed case for a contribution of EU law to the policy objective of combating poverty and social exclusion"-- Provided by the publisher Notes "A GlassHousebook" -- title page Based on author's thesis (doctoral - Universiteit Antwerpen, 2020) issued under title: The role of EU law in contributing to the Union's policy objective of combating poverty and social exclusion Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Ane Aranguiz is a postdoctoral researcher at the Private, Business and Labour Law Department of Tilburg University and the Government and Law research group of the University of Antwerp Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 27, 2022) Subject Social legislation -- European Union countries Public welfare -- Law and legislation -- European Union countries Poverty -- Government policy -- European Union countries Poverty -- Government policy Public welfare -- Law and legislation Social legislation Social policy SUBJECT European Union countries -- Social policy Subject European Union countries Form Electronic book LC no. 2021051961 ISBN 9781003222125 1003222129 9781000563528 1000563529
